CS/IT Project Development 2017

Budget and Equipment

Some projects may require specific equipment or resources. The School of ICT may already have those resources available. Below is a list of some examples of resources and contact people for further information. In the case that the resource is not available, it may be possible to purchase it. The senior project budget is explained.

List of Equipment and Resources

Talk to your advisor (and other faculty members) if you need a special resource. Its likely that it is already available. Below is a list of some resources:

General purpose computers available in senior project room and other computer labs. Contact: ICT Technician.

There is other equipment also available. Discuss with either Project Coordinator, relevant faculty members or ICT Technician.

Budget

If after checking the available equipment and talking to your project advisor, you decide you need to purchase resources, then each student has a budget of 8000 Baht for senior project. (Note however the entire senior project budget is not enough for all students to spend 8000 Baht. Based on previous years, only a few students need to spend the money. Generally, the money will be allocated to projects with special requirements and on a first-come-first-served basis).

The budget can be spent on:

Equipment for senior project

Registration at conferences (if the student has a paper accepted and will attend)

Fees for training courses, e.g. attending a short course on a topic needed for your project.

The procedure for using the budget is:

Identify the resource you require, and obtain a specification and quotation.

Check with your project advisor if the resource is necessary for the project and it is not currently available. The advisor should agree with the specification and quotation.

Check with the project coordinator if the resource is not currently available.

Purchase the resource, ensuring you obtain an official receipt/tax invoice in the name of "Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology, Thammasat University". A receipt without the correct name, or without the tax number of the supplier cannot be accepted.

Fill in the Senior Project Reimbursement form (available from ICT Secretary).

If all the paperwork is correct, you will be reimbursed by SIIT. For further information about the purchasing procedure, speak with the ICT Secretary.
